Graphic Workshop Professional 11 Revision 14



Graphic Workshop Professional 11 has been updated. In this release:

  • Crop Window: Graphic Workshop's Crop window has been updated to address a range error that prevented the cropping rectangle from being sized all the way to the edges of its images on some display hardware.

  • RAR: The internal RAR archive manager has been updated to address a memory issue that could see the same memory object freed twice, and crash Graphic Workshop.

  • Comment Editor: An issue with the Edit Comments window that prevented it from saving comments to JPEG and PNG documents under some configurations of Windows has been nailed.

  • Notification Sound: The default notification sound that signals the conclusion of various processes around the application has been updated to play even if Windows is mis-configured such that a standard noise isn't available... which seems to be a thing.

  • Archive Manger: The Archive Manager application that installs with Graphic Workshop now includes a configuration option to hide zero-length archive entries.

  • GIF Player: The View window for GIF animations has been updated to handle several non-standard format variations that could hitherto crash the application.

  • Destination Prompts: The Proceed prompts in Graphic Workshop's Destination window can be dismissed by clicking outside them, should you change your mind.

  • TWAIN Interface: The TWAIN scanner interface has been updated to discourage some scanner windows from hiding behind Graphic Workshop after they open. No, we don't know why they liked to do so in the past... some questions are better left unanswered.

  • View Windows: The View windows for the various animation formats supported by Graphic Workshop can now be closed by clicking outside them. Note that this behavior can be disabled through Graphic Workshop's Setup window, should you prove not to favor it.

  • Transform: The Transform functions that involved resizing graphics have enjoyed a noticeable speed improvement.

  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
         
  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

e-Paint 11 Revision 4


e-Paint 11 has been updated. In this release:

  • JPEG Security: e-Paint's Turbo JPEG library has been updated to the latest release to address some security issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of e-Paint to update to this release as quickly as possible.

    If there seem to have been a lot of JPEG issues of late, we hasten to note that they're the result of both the maintainers of the JPEG functionality and ourselves working to stay ahead of the world's cyber-cretins to prevent your computer being infected with malware.

  • Filter Thumbnails: A resource issue that could crash e-Paint's Filter window if its previous-iteration thumbnails were clicked on has been addressed.

  • Average:The Average filter in e-Paint's Filters window hitherto could ignore the setting of its Wide Aperture option under some configurations of Windows. It now pays attention all the time.

  • Filter Preview: The Filter window preview was disposed to refusing to update correctly under some configurations of Windows. This has been nailed.

  • Notification Sound: The default notification sound that signals the conclusion of various processes around the application has been updated to play even if Windows is mis-configured such that a standard noise isn't available... which seems to be a thing.

  • Update Links: The various web page links embedded in e-Paint — most notably the Download Upgrade item of the Help menu — have been updated to address our new HTTPS pages directly.

  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
         
  • Documentation: Updates the documentation.

PNG MNG Construction Set 11 Revision 7


PNG MNG Construction Set 11 has been updated. In this release:

  • JPEG Security: PNG MNG Construction Set's Turbo JPEG library has been updated to the latest release to address some security issues.

    We'd like to urge all users of PNG MNG Construction Set to update to this release as quickly as possible.

    If there seem to have been a lot of JPEG issues of late, we hasten to note that they're the result of both the maintainers of the JPEG functionality and ourselves working to stay ahead of the world's cyber-cretins to prevent your computer being infected with malware.

  • Animation Wizard: A memory leak in Animation Wizard that could have crashed it, and PNG MNG Construction Set, under some configurations of Windows has been stomped.

  • Convert To: The Convert to Paletted and Convert to Mono functions of PNG MNG Construction Set have been updated to address an issue that hitherto crashed the application under some configurations of Windows. We frown on this...

  • Notification Sound: The default notification sound that signals the conclusion of various processes around the application has been updated to play even if Windows is mis-configured such that a standard noise isn't available... which seems to be a thing.

  • Update Links: The various web page links embedded in PNG MNG Construction Set — most notably the Download Upgrade item of the Help menu — have been updated to address our new HTTPS pages directly.

  • Performance: Addresses a number of GDI and performance issues that software developers never really stop meddling with.
